SUMMARY:Tareya
DESCRIPTION:Canadian country-pop artist Tareya hits the legendary King Eddy stage on July 24. \nAbout Tareya: \nTareya is a highly acclaimed\, JUNO and CCMA-nominated Canadian country-pop singer\, songwriter\, and producer whose music has generated an estimated 12 million total streams across global digital platforms. \nOriginally from Calgary\, Alberta\, she achieved explosive nationwide prominence as the central female voice of the chart-topping country duo Autumn Hill. Green carved out a historic place in the Canadian music landscape when her work crossed over from country charts to mainstream pop radio\, a massive commercial feat that had not been accomplished by a Canadian country act since Shania Twain. Discovered via YouTube by Wax Records executives\, she quickly shifted from a budding solo artist into a powerhouse collaborator\, laying the foundation for a career defined by consecutive high-profile industry accolades. \nDuring her definitive five-year run anchoring Autumn Hill\, Green accumulated a catalog of critical milestones\, highlighted by two prestigious JUNO Award nominations and six Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) nominations. Her vocal performance and sharp songwriting sensibilities drove the duo’s two celebrated studio albums\, Favourite Mistake and Anchor. She co-penned and sang lead on a string of massive radio staples\, including the smash hit breakout crossover single “Anything at All\,” “Fire\,” and “Can’t Keep Waiting”. Her commercial momentum reached a peak on the charts when the powerful ballad “Blame” secured a coveted #1 music video spot on CMT and soared to a Top 5 position on country radio. These consecutive hits earned the group successive JUNO and CCMA Award nominations for Breakthrough Artist and Best Country Album. \nGreen’s status as a top-tier performer was solidified by her invitations to headline the national CCMA Awards broadcast in both 2014 and 2015. Over the course of her mainstream career\, she has shared arena and festival stages with global country superstars like Keith Urban\, Carrie Underwood\, and Tim McGraw\, and recorded an vocal duets with Canadian music legends Jann Arden and Tom Cochrane. \nFollowing an amicable split from the duo to reclaim her standalone artistry\, she re-emerged as an independent artist. She expanded her creative autonomy to write her debut solo record\, Stained Glass Heart\, which featured her highly successful independent digital release “Summer Wheels”. Most recently\, she returned to the spotlight with her new radio single “Highschool Sweetheart”\, continuing to build on her legacy of compelling storytelling and vocals and chart-topping singles.

SUMMARY:Current // Process + Place
DESCRIPTION:Current is a new series of public art activations presented by The New Gallery (TNG)\, transforming the Bow River pathway into a flowing corridor of creativity. Connecting Calgary’s cultural landmarks and natural landscapes\, these activations merge art\, nature\, and community through installation\, performance\, and interactive projects. It invites audiences to experience the city through the rhythm of the river and the energy of downtown life. \nPresented by The New Gallery and supported by RISEUp Calgary\, Current runs through July 6 – 30th\, 2026. \nCurrent brings together the works and creative processes of Calgary artists through installation\, performance and socially engaged practice. At times ecological\, social and deeply rooted in process\, Current invites artists to slow down and work directly within the liminal space of the river’s edge\, the histories it holds\, its riparian habitat\, transition to the urban environment\, and the material relations both carried and deposited. \nArtist participation is site-specific\, and interventions are simultaneously temporary\, time-based and socially engaged. Current merges an outdoor exhibition program with musical and movement-based performance\, installation\, sound\, participatory workshops and facilitated interdisciplinary tours.

SUMMARY:How Can You Think That?! Political Book Club: Viewpoint Diversity
DESCRIPTION:A book club for conservatives and liberals who want to get out of their echo chambers and bridge the great divide. Buy the book\, read it\, and come join us for a lively discussion. This month’s book is Viewpoint Diversity by John Tomasi and Bernard Schweizer \nAbout the book: \nViewpoint diversity is suddenly on everyone’s lips — yet few agree on what it really means. Is it about political balance? Free speech? Academic inclusion? Or something far more vital — the courage to engage across difference? \nIn Viewpoint Diversity: What It Is\, Why We Need It\, and How to Get It\, leading heterodox thinkers tackle one of the most urgent questions of our time: how to keep open inquiry and constructive disagreement alive amid rising conformity on both left and right. Spanning essays on higher education\, politics\, culture\, and the arts\, this bold collection offers both sharp diagnosis and practical solutions for cultivating genuine pluralism. \nTimely\, provocative\, and refreshingly constructive\, Viewpoint Diversity makes the case for a richer\, freer\, and more resilient public culture — one that thrives not in spite of disagreement\, but because of it. \nMore about the book club: \nWe’ve all felt it: Whether we’ve argued pointlessly with someone on social media\, felt our blood pressure rise as we’ve fought over politics with family members\, or simply veered delicately away from certain topics\, it’s hard to ignore the chasm between those who hold opposing political views. And it feels like it’s getting worse\, that politics are getting uglier\, and that reasonable discussion is falling by the wayside. What can ordinary people do to bridge the great divide? We can read books that smart and reasonable people have written in defense of their views and we can talk about these books with others who may or may not wear the political stripes we do. Come to Shelf Life Books for a monthly book club that does just that. Ideally\, participants will have read the book assigned for that day\, and will come prepared to discuss it. All of the books on our list will be made available by Shelf Life. We will meet from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the last Saturday of every month (except for April).

SUMMARY:Jingle Cone Keychain Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever heard the twinkling of the jingle dress and wanted to know how they’re made? The jingle cones behind the iconic sound have been made from repurposed and recycled materials since at least the 18th century. Historically used as decoration on clothing and jewelry\, now they typically adorn beautiful jingle dresses at powwows. \nIn this workshop\, Saulteaux-Métis artist Rey-J Horsefall and Métis artist Arlan LaVallee-Nairn will teach guests the historical and modern Indigenous use of jingle cones. Using metalsmithing and cold smithing techniques\, Rey-J and Arlan will walk you through the hands-on process of cutting and shaping jingle cones to create a unique jingle cone keychain. \nWorkshop includes materials\, instruction\, and admission to The Confluence Cultural Centre.

But when the cunning sea witch Crustacea learns of Jewel’s forbidden dream\, she strikes a dangerous bargain: Jewel’s voice in exchange for human legs. With only three days to make Christian fall in love with her\, Jewel must risk everything—or lose her voice forever and be banished from the sea she once called home. \nBrought to life through dazzling costumes\, inventive puppetry\, soaring music\, and performances by some of the most exciting emerging Filipino musical theatre artists today\, Little Mermaid promises a theatrical experience filled with heart\, spectacle\, and unforgettable magic.

SUMMARY:Clue
DESCRIPTION:A mansion. A murder. A mystery. \nMurder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget!
